I tried the maps-resigned.apk but could not installed it, application not installed.

Went back to wipe data and uninstall maps in TB, then copy maps.apk into /system/app with root explorer as instructed on the first page.

To stop google map from auto update, I went to Market>Myapps look for Google maps under uninstall apps. It will bring to the installation page, but market did recognised the maps is installed. Touch on the update button, and it will start to update, but it also present you with the box to uncheck the auto update option. Quickly uncheck the auto update, and stop the updating. Then exit Market.

I think that should prevent it from auto updating. Not sure if need to do that again when phone reboot the next time.

I also downloaded ownhere maps, it can run parallel with google maps, but it forced closed very often during navigation. So I fall back on NavLauncher (by madcowsolutions for Brutall maps last time). Navlauncher can recognize the above above installed maps.apk as the official google map. The navigation is much stable. But make sure it is not auto updated by google. Attached the old Navlauncher 3.0 beta file here for those interested.
[Android Apps and Games] JO0427:
Recently jumped over to android and was upset that the navigation does not work in my region. Chance upon this and installed it, it Worked so Thanks for this awesome app.

Anyhow I have a question, how do I allow Google Voice Action to activate navigation? Every time I use it, a pop up will state that it does not recognize the map installed and I need to install from Market or that I'm simply in a unsupported region -.-'' If I was to use Vilingo Voice Command/Talk instead, Google Maps will pop up instead of Navigation.

Is it possible to make it my default Navigation app? Do i need to install the provided "Maps.apk" as well?

I have uninstalled the original google maps and mine is a rooted galaxy s2.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
. Yeah I'm sorry I haven't updated the instructions My bad.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I'm sorry that this navigation dosen't work properly for you Please don't post random navigation apps here.
[Android Apps and Games] :No-Frost::
After you done this to install resign version for first time, you will not have to worry to do the same in the future. At least, after I've done that I can update the app with the resign version whenever I want :). But always make sure not to update the maps with the one from the market.

[Android Apps and Games] deus_:
Does any one notice something fishy? Well this app comes from an untrusted source and requires almost all the permissions.

FC

I also receive many FC when navigating use this on my SGS2. It seems to work for a bit then if it has to re-route then I get a FC and must keep opening it several times to get it to work again.

I noticed someone else posted this as well.. Are any others having this issue or anyone might suggest a solution?

No problem here for me

[Android Apps and Games] xmas2:
tested a bit more...

FC occurs only when TTS works... if i mute it then no problem, but if it speaks - it crashes while speaking...

by the way - is there a way to get some sort of phonemes for it? it reads streets in our country ridiculousnly :)

You are awesome, I don't know how would our android experience would have been without XDA!!

I have no root on my SGS2, with stock maps app installed, followed the instructions and it worked just fine. BTW I live in China and I really needed NAVIGATION on my phone because all the local apps are Chinese which I don't understand.

Thank you!!

I only got one.question, since I have the stock app and don't mind to have two maps app on my phone I only downloaded and installed the attachment " maps5.10.1-ownhere-changepn.apk" without downloading and installing attached "maps.apk". Is that right? And i should only do the same when u upload an update in the future?? Ohh 2 questions :)

The stock maps app I got is v5.2.1

[Android Apps and Games] adsi:
i also always have this FC during navi in my Moto Atrix ME860(Taiwan version), someone above mentioned the root cause is TTS, but using default TTS still exist this crash problem, only static (no more moving) will be fine:(, once you drive and move several times, this FC will occur again. I don't know this problem ever happen before? but i think this problem is really annoying!! Someone fix it, pls....

As i know, a crack version called "resign" is not necessary to root your system, just directly install as most app, but i cannot sure if ownhere crack this version on Googlemap 10.1? Googlemap 5.6~5.9 i ever see.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Resign version can install map with routine method(e.g. copy apk n install fromm file manager of device) n still it needs root to remove stock map.

For non rooted, you need changepn version (maps5.10.1-ownhere-changepn.apk file on first post) which can be install along with stock map. so after installation you will hav double application Map, lattitude, Navigation..
[Android Apps and Games] ykphuah:
OPS, can you also post the original unmodified maps in the first post? It is useful when performing OTA.

You can in the default maps, however I personally the whole process is stupid. You have to download the map but it's only a 10 square mile radius for each selected area.
[Android Apps and Games] adsi:
It seen no one psot the ownhere 5.10.1 V4 changepn here, right?(i cannot sure..)

V4 fix the interrupt problem of download map when you navigate(it only happens in China area), but not fix the usual FC problem when navigation routing, so i think it doesn't have mush help for us who always be confused by the usual FC (like me in Taiwan) ....

In fact, i doubt people who have this usual FC problem may have the same problem of install problem? Or ownhere would not fix this problem and keep update? Maybe this problem have some steps we never notice...such like "is system\app\Maps.apk necessary to exist?" I've delete it since i found the overwrite Maps.apk method is useless for me because when uninstall google map and delete Maps.apk then restart, the default Maps.apk never see it in the system\app patch, even though re-install google map from market....i think i've loss the default Maps.apk to keep google map being stable. This problem must be also confuse on my next OS update(XD)...If someone konw the true answer, pls must tell me, thanks first.

PS.

V4 can be found from Google search, key words is Maps 5.10.1-ownhere-v4,

but as i told above, it's helpful for China people.
[Android Apps and Games] jeffkhlam:
i gave up 5.10.1 because of the FC bug during navigation. im using 5.8 ownhere, which is bug free for me. Anyone could solve the bug and using 5.10.1?
[Android Apps and Games] itandy:
Anyone knows a way to overwrite the default locale to be used by Google Maps?

My Incredible S (also Hero) has been using the system locale en_US from the very beginning and GMaps is used to show Chinese street names and area. I live in Hong Kong and I like to use my phone with English UI but in GMaps it makes more sense to show Chinese.

So everything is perfect until recently, I believe something has changed in Google server. Now GMaps uses the same locale as the Android system so it shows English street names and area which makes GMaps very hard to use for me.

I can change the system locale to Chinese so GMaps shows Chinese again but then the system UI will become Chinese which is not what I want. Anyone also notice this change in GMaps and has a solution?

Dude... Is there any software to download maps for the same? I would like to download the maps for India. I tried "Google Hybrid Maps Downloader" but it's not the way it is arranged on the microSD card. And, downloading using GPRS is such a painful task.
[Android Apps and Games] itandy:
AFAIK, starting from maps 5, offline map data downloaded using PC application no longer work because Google has already changed to use vector map data instead of bitmap data.

In fact, you can use the Google lab "Precache map area" to pre-load map data for offline use.

maps5.10.1-ownhere-signed.apk FC far too much to be usefull.

I tried both Maps.apk on first post and Maps-resigned.apk from post #1255

Dumb me, have been getting these errors a lot on ADB and emulator when trying to push maps5.10.x-ownhere.apk into /system/app for days. Just found out that you have to:

1. remove your original build's preinstalled map.apk (mine was 5.0.0) via Titanium (wipe and uninstall, I didn't backup);

2. reinstall current Maps.apk (5.10.0) from Market (fairly easy);

3. remove the newly installed Maps.apk (5.10.0) via Settings > Applications > Manage applications (fairly easy);

4. install the downloaded maps5.10.1-ownhere-changepn.apk via adb install;

C:\Users\x>adb remount
remount succeeded

C:\Usersx>adb install Maps.apk

5. Reboot, open Maps, give the three triangles permissions.

It was the certificate from which previous version you had that matters, i guess. kept getting those errors if the old version maps5.9.0-ownhere.apk installed if you had Market's Maps.apk (5.10.0) previously. $%^&.

Sorry for the long post. I'm just a beginner with all these - but i thought maybe this would help some other noobs just like myself :).

Alternative installation method

Note:

For those who get the "Login Failed" message Pull down the status bar and press all three triangles and give permission then closing maps.

If you don't get the three warning triangles

1. Install original maps from market.

2. Sign in and join latititude

3. Back up maps in titanium, app and data.

4. Wipe date and uninstall maps

5. Install resign version. DO NOT RUN, reboot right after installing.

6. After reboot, go to titanium and restore DATA only.

yea and unchecking auto-update on the marked.

to install as an user app (in data/app not system/app) you need the signed version.

For those having problems:

1- In Titanium Backup, make a backup of the current Maps.

It should now work and you should have only 1 Maps in your apps lis. If you get problems with signing in, restore just data from TB.

As Google doesn't support Navigation in my Country, I need other ways to access it.

As I searched in many forums, I got two solutions; One is Brutmod and another is googlemaps 5.10.1 ownhere.apk.

1. Brut mod can serve you offline navigation but it doesn't have the ability to precache map area. (you need to manually precache the area by zooming in and zooming out in many zoom levels)

2. Googlemaps_ownhere.apk has the ability to precache maps but it cannot navigate in offline mode, I mean it cant navigate without Data connection.

Can anyone guide me how to use offline navigation without any Data Connection?

Maps 5.10.1-ownhere installation is quite straight forward (refer 1st page). But for 5.11.0-ownhere is quite different.

1) Titanium --> maps --> wipe data & uninstall

2) Titanium --> streetview --> wipe data & uninstall

3) rename maps 5.11.0-ownhere.apk --> maps.apk

4) move/copy that maps.apk file to /system/app --> change permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644)

*note - i'm using ESExplorer with setting --> root explorer & mount system as rw

5) install streetview

6) reboot
